Hhhhaaa, I LOVE this feeling of linking two confusing and obscure concepts so they spark and light suddenly comes out of the big void.

Thanks Ralph!

Job done.

I changed the starter relay for a new one.  This later has the "vertical shape" supposed to be the right model for 1984 trucks.

Hoping this will finally fix my startup problems, chances are good, since I exposed the guts of the old one to the sun and see that one of the pole's contact was really carbonized, beginning melting.

Let's touch wood!
